1937 song by Fred Astaire From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"A Foggy Day" is a popular song composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin.[3] The song was introduced by Fred Astaire in the 1937 film A Damsel in Distress. It was originally titled "A Foggy Day (In London Town)" in reference to the pollution-induced pea soup fogs that were common in London during that period, and is often still referred to by the full title.
The commercial recording by Astaire for Brunswick was very popular in 1937.[4]
